ECOWAS, AU, UN Reject Military Action

ECOWAS, African Union and United Nations have rejected the coup in Burkina Faso. They also condemned the abduction of President Michel Kafando, the Prime Minister, Yacouba Zida, and transitional Ministers by Presidential guards.
The three organisations made their position known in a joint statement with which they described the act as violation of the Constitution and the Charter of the Transition. They also demanded that the security forces submit to the transition government which they say is the legitimate political authority in the country.
